Under 18 Women Cecafa tourney kick-off date pushed by three weeks

The Council of East and Central African Football Associations (CECAFA) has announced a change in dates for the CECAFA U-18 Women’s Championship set for Nairobi.

The CECAFA Executive Director Auka Gecheo has announced that following a consultative meeting with Football Kenya Federation (FKF), they have reached a decision to push the championship kick off by three weeks. The event which was scheduled to start on June 3rd will now take place between June 24 to July 8 in the Kenyan capital.

“We are confident that pushing the start of the Championship forward will give Member Associations enough time to prepare their teams for the season opening tournament on the CECAFA calendar,” added Gecheo.

This will be the premier event for CECA this year and Kenya will have a chance for redemption after sitting out in the cold last year due to FIFA suspension. Harambee Starlets U-18 team is expected to hit camp at Kasarani next week.
